The hook is not good
This hook is written as if this is a characteristic of the species, while the article is about the genus, and the flexible test is probably the most well known characteristic for distinguishing the order. --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 14:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * (From my talk page) I noticed your comment on the talk page of Pelanechinus where you stated that you thought the DYK hook was not good. It was not the original hook that I suggested and you can see the discussion that went on to decide on the wording of the hook here. A DYK hook is supposed to be interesting, and to most people, the flexibility of the test might be interesting. The fact that it applies to all the members of the order Echinothurioida does not make it any less true of individual members. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:00, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * You shouldn't mislead readers and use a hook that implies that this is a unique characteristic of the species when it is not. An encyclopedia should inform the reader, not mislead them. --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 17:17, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
